Favorite Quote:
To sum it all up, if you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must write dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfume and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish for you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories&mdash;science fiction or otherwise. Which means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.&rdquo;<br /> &ndash;Ray Bradbury


Tentatively, roots snake their way
through the unyielding sod
insects gnawing at the tips
halting its stride
On the surface, fragile petals
unfurl, catching the morning dew
warmth disappears, replaced by
fat drops weighing down its progress
With a mighty gust, the dismal
sky is cleared, replaced by
encouraging rays smiling
upon the plant’s golden leaves
Days pass, as do the seasons, gold turns to
brown as the last petal lands on the snow, 
surrounding life flock to the scene
singing songs of the love once shared
as the stem withers to a memory
